IT'S TIMES TO WAKE UP TO THE HIDDEN HAND'S TRICKS, AND SHARP
PRACTICES TO PERPETUATING THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC DOMINANCE OF AFRICA
We
received several hundred of mails
following
the
previous delivery that connected
the dots about political crisis
and chaos spreading day by day
throughout Africa.
Ninety percent of mails's senders
expressed doubt that the
regime change in Libya
(November 2011) was a strategically
planned move by Nato's members-states
to regaining control of Africa
political and economic development
process, to stop Chinese growing
economic influence - and maintain
the black continent as a subservient
client to Europe and America.
These challenging mails were not a complete surprise to Africabiz
Online editorial board. Indeed, it had suspected since long ago that African
decision makers were not well informed about what is really going on behind the
screen - not to mention the few powerful ones in power who perfectly know and
nevertheless choose to collaborate with the adversary (competitor) to
maintaining the Black continent as a subservient client
The main argumentation put forward by the doubters
is that there is no proof that Nato members-states have such a long term plan
to destabilize the black continent.
In the contrary, haven't we read about Nato's member-states's condemnations of
the destruction of World
Heritage shrines in Mali by radical Islamists? Haven't Nato's
political leaders proclaimed their willingness to assist and provide military
logistics,
to stage joint military drills in order to securing the Sahelian region and
free it from heavily armed terrorists groups roaming that vast desert
territory?
Truly, these condemnations and offers of assistance speak for themselves. Nato's
members are for close collaboration with African countries, to advancing
the economic developing.
They are against chaos!
Therefore, the doubters think that Africabiz Online is simply joining up rank
with Conspiracy
Theorists,
who claim that there is a group of people behind the screen - a hidden powerful
hand - dedicated to manipulating world events with the final aim of establishing
a New World Order, to dominating
and managing world politics and economy - without the consent and control of
the masses.
For the truly blinds, who are really not aware of what is going on, who take
on face value condemnations and collaboration proposals from Nato member-states's
leaders, Africabiz Online, in continuation to this introduction,
is providing facts and documented information - gathered by researchers worldwide,
that would hopefully open their eyes.

MISCELLANEOUS SERIES: PINEAPPLE AS INCOME BUILDING POWER FOR A COMMUNITY
- ECONOMICS ABOUT A MEDIUM SCALE ANIMAL FEED PRODUCTION FROM PINEAPPLE
LEAVES AND WASTES
Africabiz
Online dedicated a series to pineapple cultivation as income building power
for African communities - as per following
links: [ 42, 43, 44, 45, 46]
This current delivery revisits the economics of
a 400 ha-plantation
dedicated to pineapple fruit production
 In
said above linked issue, the plantation is programmed and structured to produce
in average 50 metric tons of pineapple fruit per hectare. That is, every
month 500 metric tons of leaves are available as waste from the direct harvesting
of pineapple fruit. In addition to that there are wastes from the processing
of fruits: crown leaves, peels, and pulps - which represent about 20 metric
tons.
Most of the times, in African producing countries, these wastes - leaves
and pineapple fruit processing by-products are not used as raw-materials
to generating additional revenues.
Let us briefly consider the economics of a medium size animal feed production
unit that makes use of 520 metric tons of wastes produced by a 400 ha - plantation
dedicated to producing 50 metric tons of pineapple fruit per month - as here
exposed

For
more on the calculation and figures related to the cost of production of
one kg of pineapple fruit per hectare visit
again this link.
Owing to the fact that leaves are gathered together during the harvest of
the pineapple fruit, one sees that the cost of production of one kg of leaves
per hectare is really minimal, that is around one tenth the cost
of production of one kg of pineapple fruit - as reported on the last row
of above table.
This low cost of production of the raw material (leaves)
is a tremendous asset to setup an animal feed production unit - making pineapple
leaves silage to be blended with pineapple fruit pulp and peels (from the
processing of the fruits) - and adding relevant supplements to cope
with the need of targeted livestock.
The pdf
document here available exposes the results of feeding experiments made
with pineapple leaves rations - for digestion trials on cattle livestock.
There is a dormant huge market for animal feed in African countries - in the
range of US$20billions a year, to raising poultry [66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76],
hogs [View this page],
and livestock [103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112]
